Elemental analyzer autosampler replacement for an isotope ratio mass spectrometer
FY 2008-09
Summary
This proposal outlines a replacement request for a piece of analytical equipment that will allow introduction of samples to an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer through an Elemental Analyzer prep system for the purposes of quantifying stable isotopic ratios of nitrogen and carbon in soil and other solid samples. This research is expected to generate important information about how we measure and understand the cycling of nitrogen and carbon in ecosystems that are affected by human activities related to landuse changes and climate change.
